Jaywalking is not mentioned in any of Georgia's pedestrian laws. Therefore, crossing anywhere is most often is legal. Pedestrians need to yield to traffic before crossing, follow signals at intersections crosswalks, and another important rule to follow is to never cross at an intersection diagonally.
Some people are not sure of the crossing signals so to clarify, if the symbol is blinking then you can continue crossing, much like a yellow light when driving, and the cars have to wait for you to finish crossing. This does not mean you can start walking if the signal is already blinking indicating change. Check out 40-6-22. Pedestrian control signals to get a better understanding of the law.
§ 40-6-92. Crossing roadway elsewhere than at crosswalk:
“Jaywalking” is not a legal term and does not appear in the Georgia Code. Even so, people often use “jaywalking” to describe a pedestrian crossing outside of a crosswalk.

If you have been involved in one of these types of accidents and are suffering from an injury as a result, speaking with an experienced Personal Injury Attorney is the best way to ensure that you receive a fair financial recovery.
Hiring a Personal Injury Attorney for your Pedestrian Injury Accident will not cost you any upfront legal fees, because they work on what is called a Contingency Fee Basis, and also provide a Free Consultation.
A Contingency Fee Basis means that you do not pay any legal fees up front, and your attorneys only collect a fee in the form of a small percentage of your final settlement.
Working on a Contingency Fee Basis is very beneficial to Personal Injury Victims because they can rest assured knowing that their attorney will do everything in their power to maximize their settlement for them.
Usually, you will not need to go to trial during your Personal Injury Lawsuit. Most of the time, a settlement will be reached between your attorney and the at-fault party's insurance company. However, your attorney will discuss with you what the best option is for you to receive the largest settlement possible, and occasionally that can mean going to trial.
